India is to adopt a ‘three-pronged’ approach to deal with China’s presence in its neighbourhood that will include educating and advising the Maldives, according to media reports.
A presentation led by Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj took place on the sidelines of an ambassadors conference, the Hindustan Times reported Sunday.
India will “track Beijing’s activities carefully; pursue its own projects and commitments; and educate and advise neighbours on the consequences of engaging with China,” the report said, citing officials familiar with the development.
Envoys from across the region were said to be at the presentation, including Akhilesh Mishra who is posted in the Maldives.
